THE SOUL ☼
The Overstrand Road climb
The long, steady climb up Overstrand Road quietly builds your rhythm. Before you notice, the road has flattened out again and you hit your stride gathering pace into Overstrand.
THE ANCHOR ⚓︎
The old railway line
After the first road section, the old railway line gathers you in. Under the trees, the road noise disappears. There's just your footsteps, your breath, and the occasional deer slipping between the shadows. Sheltered, hushed, grounding.
THE PAUSE ○
The wooden gate
Turn off the road in Overstrand at the wooden gate on Northrepps Road. It's where you take a breath, enjoy the change of terrain, and let the next section unfold.
